1. This is stupid
Linichka ,   Gdynia, Poland   (09.23.12)
Every time we give in and offer them something, terror is the result. And we're held hostage to their demands for more of everything. Let them riot, ala "Arab Spring"; what would be different to how they already behave?
2. #1 You are stupid.
(09.23.12)
Spreading your evil propaganda from Giddyland in Poland.
3. If there is it has everything to do with Arab corruption
JO   (09.23.12)
The PA has had billions of aid and where and what has it accomplished??? Being neighbours has it's downside, expectations are not of the ordinary Arab country, and having a 1st world economy next to a aid economy only breeds jealousy and discontent.
4. LET the PA collapse and let them riot.... Best thing for
Gila ,   Israel   (09.23.12)
Israel and best thing for the Arabs there.... Israel needs to let the corruption and incitement from the PA die. Then we annex and build a CIVILIZED society. Start coexhistance education. Build the infrastructure.... THIS is the only way we will ever see peace.
5. I agree with #1
Keren ,   IL-BR   (09.23.12)
The postponing policy is a stupid policy. Israel must face whatever comes with courage-the courage of being faithful on what we believe and on what is correct. The sooner ,the best. A illness is better cured earlier because later it can turn into incurable. Israel should not let these workers in.Let them find jobs in Lebanon.
6. Why does it have to be Israel?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.23.12)
Why can't they get work permits in Jordan? I don't want any more Arab terrorists in Israel than already live there. Why doesn't the ersatz "Palestine" Authority leadership simply give back the hundreds of millions of dollars and hundreds of millions of euros they stole? For all we know, it could be even more than that. Then, they might be able to create jobs or attract foreign investment. But no one gives money to a bunch of terrorist crooks. Let the ersatz "Palestinians" stew in their own juices -- no jobs for them in Israel. Let their brother Arabs pick up the slack. It doesn't always have to be us -- we've seen their concept of gratitude: terror and more terror. Why are we helping those who would like nothing more than to see our destruction?
7. No work here! let them Re-Paint the 'Pyramids'
Roland Seener ,   London England   (09.23.12)
8. Its not those that want to work to feed
Marlene ,   Israel   (09.23.12)
their families that cause the trouble usually, BUT Israel has to be careful as you never know what might pass through the cracks. Nothing will stop an uprising if they really want it. Stop building tunnels and shelling Israeli citizens...use the money for the people, education (not jihad camps) well equipted hospitals, so no need to go through Israeli crossings, and try to make peace with neighbors...ok maybe all this needs a "spring!" but corruption will never disappear, its part of the culture.
9. You know the song "Trouble" !
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (09.23.12)
10. #2 YOU are stupid
Mel ,   United Jerusalem   (09.23.12)
Lynicka is right. Stop your stupid logic.
11. No, #2 You are stupid & #3 You are Spot On!
NudNik69 ,   Displaced by ARABS   (09.23.12)
Its about time to cut these filthy dhogs loose and let them wallow in their own excrement. Let them riot - who cares!? They riot anyway! Their leaders are corrupt - where has all the money gone? Yes, BILLIONS embezzled yet stupid morons give these trash more while blaming Israel for everything. Grow brains! Crazy !
12. Mistake!!!!
Mistake ,   Hfx   (09.23.12)
This ia something obama would do ans look how he's making out. Appeasement never works. Let them riot in their own places.
13. IN MINE #5 I meant Jordan not Lebanon.Sorry.
Keren ,   IL-BR   (09.23.12)
14. Wise move by the Israeli government...
esse ,   --   (09.23.12)
...which is why the usual fools here will object to it. It's good to know there are at least a few adults still in Israel.
15. In mine #13 I add that it can be in Lebanon also.
Keren ,   IL-BR   (09.23.12)
Why not?
16. We must bring temporary workers ...
Keren ,   IL-BR   (09.23.12)
...from countries that we have economical ,strategic,diplomatic interests,and only when these jobs are refuted by Jews(what should´t happen). Letting in workers who hate us in is beyond stupid, besides being economicaly bad because they do bs where they are employed and they are not to be trusted. So why in earth let the in???
17. As a civilized nation Israel must do this.
DOV ,   USA   (09.23.12)
I wish people would stop putting everyone living within borders on paper as being evil terrorists. it is stupid. This is a measure to insure security, future prosperity and a big blow to HAMAS.
18. 16 - because maybe you've colonized them?
Gregg ,   Haifa IL   (09.23.12)
Did it ever cross your mind that stealing and settling in one's land has a price?
19. To 6
j.ALLON ,   cairns-Austraalia   (09.24.12)
Surely you must know the answer to that?
20. thanks but no thanks
jack bauer   (09.24.12)
we dont need to spend money building pipelines so we can send free fuel to support the same people who want us dead. Idiots in power are with us in every generation. We are not colonizers. We are not settlers. We are not occupiers. We are here to resettle the land that is ours historically. We do not need to appease anyone. We do not need to support those who would kill us. If we do it should be because we want to help, not because we fear. We have nothing to fear, we are here to stay, in all our land, FOREVER
21. #18 this land has only ever belonged to ISRAELITES
jack bauer   (09.24.12)
we cannot steal what has always been ours. The price being paid with our blood is because we didnt send those who wanted us dead out over the river in the first place. Maybe if you had family that died to ensure your right to live in haifa you wouldnt have such a skewed view
22. To: J. Allon at No. 19
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.24.12)
Of course I know the answer! I was merely venting. Still, there are those out there (see the post at No. 14) who believe this is a wise move by the Israeli government -- although the poster doesn't elaborate any further ....
23. To: No. 17
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.24.12)
The only difference between Hamas and the ersatz "Palestine" Authority is that Hamas' charter calls for the destruction of the State of Israel and the extermination of the Jews, whereas the ersatz "Palestine" Authority's charter calls for the destruction of the State of Israel and the expulsion of the Jews. A negligible difference, wouldn't you agree?
